Obviously we all have our favorite weapons...but what about the ones you hate using?

Maybe you just never really were interested in the weapon design, or you don't have enough sp to really explore all possibilities? It could be a racial thing, or a gameplay style that doesn't work for you.

I want to know which weapons you haven't skilled into (or haven't dedicated a lot of skill points towards), and your reasoning behind it.

Here's mine:

Plasma Rifle - Never was a big fan of the PR...even if it was THE weapon of choice for the longest time. I only just recently skilled into prof (like literally just yesterday) to try out the Burst PR again but still felt it was lacking. Since then, I've only ever had it to level 4 operation for testing purposes.
For those that don't know, my primary weapon used to be the mass driver before uprising, then the scrambler during uprising.

Pistols - I actually like the bolt pistol, but I still only have operation level 1. The ammo capactity is fine, reload speed is fine, and the damage output is enough for what I use it for. The rest of the pistols just don't feel effective enough or are too skilled based (scrambler headshots for example)

Calp**** weapons - Whether it's the RR, swarms, sniper, magsec...I just don't really like them for some reason. Maybe it's because they're all weapons that are best used when camping a location and waiting for the right shot...idk -_-

Shotgun - Only reason I don't have operation up is because it makes the spread smaller, which makes it harder to use for me. If only I could disable that bonus (similar to the mass driver splash range bonus) in order to just get the prof bonus.

The only weapon I don't have to Advanced is the Assault (Plasma) Rifle. Only Operation 1. Thinking about working on it now, but, I'm more worried about other random things currently.

The only reason I don't have points is because it was THE weapon for so long.

I finally spec'd the Shotgun higher. My reason for holding off was the same as yours.

Nothing. Read sig. The 5 others are at Level 4. Love them all.

That's suprising, because the Plasma Rifle is the absolute basic of the basic, and is probably the first weapon that most of us actually maxed out.


@ OP

I am NOT skilled into:

Flaylock Pistols - (just hate them)

Bolt Pistols - (are meh)

Ion Pistols - (are meh)

Mass Drivers - (are fun, but get boring)

Plasma Cannons - (were too hard to use for little return, but haven't tried them after the hotfix)

Forge Guns - (are super fun, but I don't play my heavy enough, so no.)

Rail RIfles - (are disobedient, i shouldn't have to skill up a gun to make it behave.)

Nova Knives - (are cool, but not my style.)

Shotguns - (are effective but ugly, i want a cool looking gun, not a megaman arm cannon.)

None.

Omni-Soldier FTW!
